Because people have watched it, and the company made money from it.

Initial D is pretty damn popular.

If you're into drifting/touge races and have an open mind you should give it a chance.

Back to the initial post, that is just so "Spec Miata". They don't call it Crash Miata or Spec Piniata for nothing!

Underscores the importance of full, properly designed and installed roll cages for wheel-to-wheel racing.

What??? That class saved amateur road racing, most of the time the fields are HUGE with 40+ cars.

*Cheap cars to build and maintain
*Reliable
*Proven platform (very responsive, short wheelbase, RWD chassis)
*Good suspension design and geometry
*Driver-centered series (hence "spec")

Granted the talent level varies greatly, but with such close racing, even the guys battling for 37th spot are guaranteed an exciting battle.

If I had the time and money for amateur road racing, that's what I'd be in.
